Methodists OK With 'New Eugenics'

At their semi-annual board of directors meeting, which concluded last weekend, the General Board of Church and Society (GBCS) committed itself, among other things, to dramatically rolling back respect for human embryos and similarly rolling back resistance to the “new eugenics,” first within the United Methodist Church and ultimately within societies around the world.

The GBCS is the UMC’s Washington, D.C. lobby office, with a satellite office near the United Nations headquarters in New York. It has long been our denomination’s most controversial official agency.
